We
ought
to
have
laughed
,
but
we
did
n't
.
I
could
not
look
in
Miss
Trelawny
's
face
and
laugh
.
The
pain
and
horror
there
showed
no
sudden
paroxysm
of
fear
;
there
was
a
fixed
idea
of
which
this
was
a
confirmation
.
For
myself
,
it
seemed
as
if
my
brain
had
found
a
voice
.
But
the
voice
was
not
complete
;
there
was
some
other
thought
,
darker
and
deeper
,
which
lay
behind
it
,
whose
voice
had
not
sounded
as
yet
.
The
first
to
get
full
self-command
was
Miss
Trelawny
.
There
was
a
haughty
dignity
in
her
bearing
as
she
said
:
"
Very
well
,
Mrs.
Grant
;
let
them
go
!
Pay
them
up
to
today
,
and
a
month
's
wages
.
They
have
hitherto
been
very
good
servants
;
and
the
occasion
of
their
leaving
is
not
an
ordinary
one
.
We
must
not
expect
much
faithfulness
from
any
one
who
is
beset
with
fears
.
Those
who
remain
are
to
have
in
future
double
wages
;
and
please
send
these
to
me
presently
when
I
send
word
.
"
Mrs.
Grant
bristled
with
smothered
indignation
;
all
the
housekeeper
in
her
was
outraged
by
such
generous
treatment
of
servants
who
had
combined
to
give
notice
:
"
They
do
n't
deserve
it
,
miss
;
them
to
go
on
so
,
after
the
way
they
have
been
treated
here
.
Never
in
my
life
have
I
seen
servants
so
well
treated
or
anyone
so
good
to
them
and
gracious
to
them
as
you
have
been
.
They
might
be
in
the
household
of
a
King
for
treatment
.
And
now
,
just
as
there
is
trouble
,
to
go
and
act
like
this
.
It
's
abominable
,
that
's
what
it
is
!
"
Miss
Trelawny
was
very
gentle
with
her
,
and
smothered
her
ruffled
dignity
;
so
that
presently
she
went
away
with
,
in
her
manner
,
a
lesser
measure
of
hostility
to
the
undeserving
.
In
quite
a
different
frame
of
mind
she
returned
presently
to
ask
if
her
mistress
would
like
her
to
engage
a
full
staff
of
other
servants
,
or
at
any
rate
try
to
do
so
.
"
For
you
know
,
ma'am
,
"
she
went
on
,
"
when
once
a
scare
has
been
established
in
the
servants
'
hall
,
it
's
wellnigh
impossible
to
get
rid
of
it
.
Servants
may
come
;
but
they
go
away
just
as
quick
.
There
's
no
holding
them
.
They
simply
wo
n't
stay
;
or
even
if
they
work
out
their
month
's
notice
,
they
lead
you
that
life
that
you
wish
every
hour
of
the
day
that
you
had
n't
kept
them
.
The
women
are
bad
enough
,
the
huzzies
;
but
the
men
are
worse
!
"
There
was
neither
anxiety
nor
indignation
in
Miss
Trelawny
's
voice
or
manner
as
she
said
:
"
I
think
,
Mrs.
Grant
,
we
had
better
try
to
do
with
those
we
have
.
Whilst
my
dear
Father
is
ill
we
shall
not
be
having
any
company
,
so
that
there
will
be
only
three
now
in
the
house
to
attend
to
.
If
those
servants
who
are
willing
to
stay
are
not
enough
,
I
should
only
get
sufficient
to
help
them
to
do
the
work
.
It
will
not
,
I
should
think
,
be
difficult
to
get
a
few
maids
;
perhaps
some
that
you
know
already
.
And
please
bear
in
mind
,
that
those
whom
you
get
,
and
who
are
suitable
and
will
stay
,
are
henceforth
to
have
the
same
wages
as
those
who
are
remaining
.
Of
course
,
Mrs.
Grant
,
you
well
enough
understand
that
though
I
do
not
group
you
in
any
way
with
the
servants
,
the
rule
of
double
salary
applies
to
you
too
.
"
As
she
spoke
she
extended
her
long
,
fine-shaped
hand
,
which
the
other
took
and
then
,
raising
it
to
her
lips
,
kissed
it
impressively
with
the
freedom
of
an
elder
woman
to
a
younger
.
I
could
not
but
admire
the
generosity
of
her
treatment
of
her
servants
.
In
my
mind
I
endorsed
Mrs.
Grant
's
sotto
voce
remark
as
she
left
the
room
:
"
No
wonder
the
house
is
like
a
King
's
house
,
when
the
mistress
is
a
Princess
!
"
"
A
Princess
!
"
That
was
it
.
The
idea
seemed
to
satisfy
my
mind
,
and
to
bring
back
in
a
wave
of
light
the
first
moment
when
she
swept
across
my
vision
at
the
ball
in
Belgrave
Square
.
A
queenly
figure
!
tall
and
slim
,
bending
,
swaying
,
undulating
as
the
lily
or
the
lotos
.
Clad
in
a
flowing
gown
of
some
filmy
black
material
shot
with
gold
.
For
ornament
in
her
hair
she
wore
an
old
Egyptian
jewel
,
a
tiny
crystal
disk
,
set
between
rising
plumes
carved
in
lapis
lazuli
.
On
her
wrist
was
a
broad
bangle
or
bracelet
of
antique
work
,
in
the
shape
of
a
pair
of
spreading
wings
wrought
in
gold
,
with
the
feathers
made
of
coloured
gems
.
For
all
her
gracious
bearing
toward
me
,
when
our
hostess
introduced
me
,
I
was
then
afraid
of
her
.
It
was
only
when
later
,
at
the
picnic
on
the
river
,
I
had
come
to
realise
her
sweet
and
gentle
,
that
my
awe
changed
to
something
else
.
